Winemaker's Notes:

The color shows a dark purple center leading to a bright ruby rim, with a penetrating nose of dark fruits consisting of blackberries, blueberries and currants with a distinct hint of dark chocolate. On the palate the wine is loaded with cassis, blueberries and creamy vanilla, leading to a long finish of unsweetened cocoa and allspice, combining power, elegance and complexity.

Reviews:

90 Points.
Bright, vibrant and focused, this levels a beam of blueberry and currant fruit through a veil of red pepper and fine, cedary tannins, all pointing to the juicy finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Best after 2008. 560 cases made.
